LONDON JOURNALS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) [Morning Chronicle] By the Leeward island Packet, we have received letters fr , rn Trinidad, dated 2d August, of which the subjoined is all Extract : Every thing at Angostura is going on most favourably, as well as in the Llanos or Plains, and the Province of Cumamt. Paez hilted the Spa , :ish General Correa, with his own hand, in the late battle of Coxede. Paez is terrible in battle as a cavalry officer, and the terror of the Spaniards. By a letter of the 18th July, it appears he had beaten Calzmla in a fresh action, and shut him up in a town not far from Varinas, from whence he is not likely to escape. The Spaniards are roving about with their cavalry, like the Pindaries, as a large extent of country affords great facilities for detached parties ; hut they arc beaten arid cut up every where by Paez and his troops. Saraza has also very lately defeated another Spanish corps. They are literally hunting for food. The Spaniards pretend, that the expedition of 2000 men, which sailed from Cadiz, the end of May, had called at the Ca nary Islands, on their way to join their countrymen in Vene zuela. Ido not believe it, but there are 3000 heroes in Mar garita ready to receive them, well armed, and with plenty of ammunition and provisions. It is this moment reported, that Brion's squadron and the Independent flotilla are in the Gulph, for the purpose of taking . Guiria, and all the coast as far as Cariaco, as a preli mivary to the attack on Cumana. This was positively an nounced as the intended plan, in a private letter of the isth July, from Guayana, and the authority uu which the present report rests appears respectable. Front the information of well-informed persons on the Continent, supposed to he intimately acquainted with the nature of the business intended to be discussed in the ap proaching Congress of Allied Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle, it appears certain that the latter have already began to feel the insurmountable obstacles of a mediation between Spain and the Independent States of South America, under exist ing circumstances, which will deter them from entering on the question in a formal manner; but if, through the urgent and clamourous remonstrances of the Spanish Government, the question is forced on their attention, it is expected their ultimate determinations will be purely pacific, accompanied by no threats, bat only urged in the way of advice and re cominendation,—(//dd.) The Brazil packet yesterday brought letters to the 19th July, butt hey are not later than the accounts which leached us a few days ago by the Hyacinth. Nothing material had for some time taken place in the capital of the Brazils, but the views of the Portuguese, with regard to the Eastern hank of the River }late, daily developed themselves. It was evi dent they were making a grand effort to ohl;tin possession of the whole of the country extending as far as the Parana, un• der pretext of following up Artigas, but with the real inten tion of retaining it, and rendering the stream of the above river the \Western boundary of the kingdom of the Brazils. They had already taken possession of the Entre Rios territory, a valuable and fertile range of country til note d between the rivers Parana and Uruguay, and pushed on tinn Dragoons to Corrientes, an important town, standing at the , confluence of the Paraguay and Parana. Artigas had lost his and it was supposed would he unable to make any further head against the inraders. The Portuguese were doing eve; y thing in their power to conciliate the affections of the inhabitants, as a basis for their future confront.— .A perfectly good understanding existed between them and the Buenos Ayres Government, of extreme impor tance to the latter, at the present moment, when their attention is so much called to other distant object,— The fact is, as we have often remarked, the Brazil Cabinet is now influenced by no other than South American interests, the wish of the King is to found an immense empire in the West, and to this the whole of his efforts and energies tend. Whatever may be the present peaceful state of Europe, it will be acknowledged he has adopted a wise plan, for he has room to extend and aggrandize his new dominions, unfettered by the old connexions he has abandoned. This will convey a pretty good ic!ea of what will he the result of the mediation Spain solicits for the termination of her disputes with Por tugal, which certainly must be very powerful to change the policy of a Cabinet founded on wise and substantial views, and that has already been operated upon to an immense ex tent. IV As the above article is taken from The .11orxing Chro nicle, our Readers will of course recollect its hostility to le- gitialute power. [Morniv Herald.] THE QUEEN. " New, Fight o'Clork, Friday Night. " Her Majesty was better last night than she has been on any preceding night during the last fortnight. From ten o'clock till four in the morning she slept without intermis sion, and she awoke in a state of great composure, and in a considerable degree free from those painful sensations of the chest, which have heretofore oppressed her so very much. " These favourable symptoms have continued throughout the whole of the day, and at half-past seven o'clock this evening, there was every prospect of another comfortable night. 4 ‘ The Princesses passed the greater part of the forenoon in the gardens and shrubberies, accompanied by Gen. Taylor and Sir Henry nation'. Their Royal Highnesses also re ceived visits from the Countess of Cardigan, the Countess of Harcourt, and Lady Banks. " The Prince Regent and the Duke of York arrived from town, at half-past five o'clock, in the Prince's travelling car riage, the Prince having called for his Royal Brother at his Louse in St. James's Palace. Their Royal Highnesses paid a short visit to her Majesty, and the❑ sat down to dinner with the Princesses. General Taylor, Colonel Stephenson, Sir Francis Milman, and Sir Henry Halford had the honour of eiininn at the Royal table. " Sir Francis Mihuan left tke Palace, for London, about 1 ,,0n, but returned soon after five o'clock, and remains in attendance with Sir H. Halford, and Mr. Braude, who ar- Vved ;it the Palace at six o'clock. " The Prince Regent's horses are ordered to be ready to return to Carlton-Douse at half-past right." [Morning Post.] An arrival at NM York from Port-au-Prince brings intel ligence of the approach of thristophe towards that place. On t of July he was within 13 miles of it, with 15,000 men. Ile bad sent several Agents into the town, claiming its sub saission ; and offering to the. subordinate officers, on condi / ,„„ ci f t h e i r go ina to his standard, to retain them in their „t places; the Agents, however, had been driven out of the place Vti ruat indignation. It was expected the town t utild soon be besieged. SOUTH AMERICA. Barbadoes Papers have been received to the 25th of July. They contain an Official Letter from the Spani , lt General Aloatt.zo to Lord ComBERMRIZE, communicating an account of se veral Victories gained over the insurgents. The accounts front St. Thomas's, of a litter date, and which we subjoin, are, however, at variance with the Spanish General's ;icconnt. (BY AUTHORITY.) ' Brid!re TOW?!, .7tely 18. " The following is a translation of a communication from General Patilo Nlorillo, Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish Forces in Venezuela, to his Excellency the Governor : " Persuaded of the interest which ,as a General in the ser vice of our faithful :111v . ; vow . Excellency must tal-e in the success of the arms of his Catholic Majesty, and the pacifica tion of this Continent, I hate the honour to acquaint you with the victories obtained by the troops composisg the ex peditionary army under toy eominand. " fine traitors Bolivar and Paez, in consequence of their li:feint:occupied Guyana, were enabled to unite their forces in San Fernando, and to penetrate Calaboza into the in terior of these provinces, elated with the it fithantages over some small parties of our tr o ops which they met in their way; but they have since been successively !Jr.:atm is 7 brilliant rencontres, which took place in Solids erii, Maiaeray, La Puerto, Rencon de les Torr e s, Sin Carlos, aid Seliana:4 de Coxedes, itt which they lost the greater part of their troops and officers. . . 64 In consequence of these victories, there remain in owl hamk 3,600 ki:led and prisoners, 2.500 i 2 standard , , tone, 200 loads of ammunition, 40 tumbrels, .3,000 hor s es, 1,000 molt s, and all the ellects which they hid conveyed from “oaviia : the Staff of Bolivar, and a great tiornhcr of officers (amon::st whom are some torcigilers, 14tely from Europe), hart. tAllun into our hands. . . " In the battle of La Puerto. I received a wound by a lance, hut of which I am now perfectly rtcovered. " I have much satifacti , n in sending; your Excellency these ;40-cc:dile accounts, and beg you may be pleased to cause them to be published in coon Government, in order that the people may know the true •tale of the war on the Continent. and the unhappy fate of those enemies Who, by a civil war, have entailed so many miseries on this desolate country. "God preserve your Excellency ninny years. (S - igned) " PA:11.0 MOKILLO. " Head-quarters, GuatApara, May 8, 818." " The annexed dispatch was received with the above:— " The Bri4ailier Doti Ramon Correa took by surprise the leader Baez on the 15th instant, at Point:it, in which action 550 to 400 of the enemy ate the dust,'and :in equal numher of prisoners were tal,en and carried to San Carlos, as well as twenty stud of horses; and thin the first Brigadier (Cor rea) WAS pursuing the remainder of the fugitives towards the Apure. " The Brigadier Don Thomas Morales took possession of Calahozo Oil the 14th ; and after leaving a strong gagaison there, proceeded to San Fernando. " The news of the death of Bolivar, from the wounds flint he received in the action he fought with Colonel Lopez, may be relied upon. (Signed) " Cumana, May 25, 1318. "To the Commandant of Guira." CIRES. " St. Thomas's, Aug. 20. " Since my last letter, acquainting you of the cotiononi cations of Murillo to tine of the first authorities in Trinidad, stating all his different !novena( ins and actions for the pre vious three months, and that he was pursuing the fugitive Patriots towards Angostura, affairs have taken a different turn. and the Royal Cause appears very low indeed. From every information I can glean, Nlorillo's army has been so worsted a n d dispersed, that they do not seem likely to rally again very soon; though they still retain possession of the Caraccas, and most of the places adjacent which have been some time in their possession, and where the .y are said to have .1,000 or 5.000 men. Ido not hear any thing farther of Bolivar being superseded. " Brion, the Patriot Admiral in this quarter, it now at Angostura, or rather in the ()mimeo, its I believe his ships cannot go su high up the river. tie has nut been superseded as reported, but has been very successful in quelling a con spiracy in his own ship, which was nearly ripe fur action ; and the purport of which was to carry the ship over to the Royal party. He discovered this plot in time to crush it, ano hang four or live of the ringleaders, who were officers. He has also taken and hung a well-known character in this qiiartet ; and who has been commanding a privateer under an Independent commission lately; but, like many more, had committed frequent acts of piracy; his name is Homo.. I ant in hopes this act of justice will prevent like occurrences, as the ptiaceahle state of the world at present leaves merchant ships a prey to every piratical villain that infests the ocean. " There is some probability that this i,l nd will become a separate Government, :rod not a dependency of Santa Cruz, which it has hitherto been ; and there seems great reason in the principal people here wishing it, as it is a place of so nitwit commercial importance ; in fact, a depot for the pro duce and manufactures of all Europe, and almost the whole ivorld being a free port. " Sir Gregor l\PGregor is expected every day in this coon try, with reinforcements for the Patriots : he was to sail trom Bell;inut, we learn, and proceed direct for Angostura. About the Bth or loth of last month, I 5,1 W at Grenada au officer jnst arrived from England, belonging to M‘Gregor's regiment, and who has formerly been in the Drag.ions in India." ,•••••••.100•Ir.

THE QuEEN.—The following is the Bulletin which was issued this day : I Kew PALActt, SEPT. 26. " The QUEEN has slept well in the night, but her MAJESTY'S Complaint is iuuch in cl►e same state this morning as yesterday. (Signed) " F. NIILM.IN. " 11. lIALFORD It is probable that we Aidl share the fate of some of our contemporaries, and be accused of Stock-jobbing purposes, when we congratulate the Public on the progressive improvement of the Revenue, as if it were not possible to be inte rested in the welfare and prosperity of the Couu. try without having a base and selfis% motive. We shall not, however, be deterred from a duty so pleasing by any fear of the slanders which may attend the execution of it. The accounts of the Consolidated Fund to the sth July, 1818, are already before the Public — From the sth July to the 20th September, 1818, it has produced From the sth July to the 20th September, 1817, it produced only .• . ,C 7,430,000 Making an Increase 0f.... ,C 1,350,000 Of this sum, we are told, 550,0001. is on the ditties of Cus toms, and 850,0001. on the duties of Excise. The Grst proving, the continued and increasing prosperity of our Foreign Trade, and the latter the increase of Domestic Consumption. From this growing prosperity of the Consoli dated Fond, we have every reason to hope that the surplus, after paying all charges, will term a prominent feature in the Wars and Means of the year 1818; and when we consider the reductions ;dremly made, and those which are contemplated, we cannot but expect that the difference between the Income and Expenditure of the Country will be most materially lessened, and that the persons who now look for and predict a large loan or issue of Exchequer Bills, for the service of the year, will be deservedly disappointed. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Wednesday last. The following are extracts : PARIS, SEPT• 23.—Vesterd4y, before mass, General the Baron de Vincent, the Austrian sister Plenipotentiary, had the honour of deli veting to his Majesty, at a private audience, a letter from his Sovereign. After mass, the Fo reign Ambassadors and Ministers paid their re spects to the King and Royal Family. " The Duke de Richelieu arrived at Cambray on the 19th inst. at five in the afternoon. M. de Rayneval, and the persons who are to accompany the Duke, set out yesterday for Aix la-Chapelle. " The King has been confined to the Palace for two days, in consequence of a slight attack of the gout. " A poor woman died on the 13th inst., at Cahors, in the department of Lot, aged 106.
